Acceleration times

Wondering if anyone has seen any timed acceleration runs tested anywhere? Can't seem to find any online. Obviously, the XTS is not meant to be a hot rod boy racer, but I'm curious how it compares with a DTS H.O. Or, for that matter, with a Lincoln MKS Ecoboost twin turbo.

Re: Acceleration times

I put my foot in it at around 1k miles and my wife clocked 0-60 at 6.3 seconds on my trusty old Timex. I'm pretty sure someone will have a YouTube video out there soon enough. There were sure a lot of them on the STS and STS-V.

Re: Acceleration times

Sorry, I was being facetious. Not every one has a sense of humor.
Actually, in testing, Cadillac claims 0-60 time of 6.8, probably under ideal conditions (best temperature, tires at optimum pressure, etc). This is adequate, but by no means quick. I suppose one could argue that I should go buy a V if I want times of 4.5 seconds. Would be nice to get somewhere in the middle though. Please bring on that twin turbo for 2014!

I wasn't referring to being as slow as a city bus :P just that it's about average for cars of it's class.
